Kurt Rambis!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1429671[/ATTACH]</p><p>(Flex on the Ram and the horns come out!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh yeah, I got some coins too. I finally bought a decent Magnus Maximus, famous for losing Roman rule in England, with the Disneyland entrance campgate reverse:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1429676[/ATTACH]</p><p>Magnus Maximus AD 383-388.

VENVS GENETRIX / KAS Venus standing front, head to left, holding plumed helmet (and not an apple) in her right hand and scepter in her left. Cohen 17. RIC 343. Areas of weakness and somewhat rough on the reverse, otherwise, good fine. Purchased from Leu Numismatik Dec 2021</p><p><br /></p><p>And lastly, possibly the most rare of the group. A card that actually teaches while you look at it. Teaches the importance of wearing a cup:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1429697[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And this Macrianus guy is pretty rare as well. Doesn&#039;t get much dorkier than a usurping fiscal officer. While marching Valerian&#039;s army back from Persia after that catastrophic failure he marched them right into a fight with a man who&#039;s name never ceases to make me chuckle, Aureolius, who soundly defeated and killed he and his son in Thrace. #winning</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1429677[/ATTACH]</p><p>Macrianus</p><p>usurper, 260-261.
